To Install Only the Web Tier Components

Use the procedure below when running a Custom or Expand installation type to only install the BusinessObjects Enterprise Web Tier Components.

1.     Left-click on the icon beside BusinessObjects Enterprise in the "Select Features" screen.

2.    Select Entire feature will be unavailable.
All the icons under BusinessObjects Enterprise will change to X.png

3.    Left-click on the Web Tier Components icon.

4.    Select Will be installed on local hard drive.
The Web Tier Components icon will display as Box2.png .

5.    If you want to install Apache Tomcat as your web application server skip to step 6. Expand Web Tier components if you want to use your existing web application server.

a.    Left-click on the icon beside Tomcat.

b.    Select Entire Feature will be unavailable.

6.    Click Next to continue with the installation.
The "CMS Clustering" screen is displayed.

To specify CMS cluster information

When you only install Web Tier components as part of a custom or expand installation, you need to specify an existing CMS. Use the "CMS Clustering" screen to provide information on CMS to which you want to cluster your web tier components.

1.    Enter information on your existing CMS in the fields provided.

·            Existing CMS Hostname

·            Existing CMS Port

·            CMS Administrator Password

Note.gifThe CMS Hostname defaults to your local computer name.

2.    Click Next to continue.
The installation program will attempt to communicate with your existing CMS cluster using the information you provided.
You now need to configure your web application server.

To select a web application server configuration option

The web application server runs Business Objects web applications such as InfoView, the Central Management Console (CMC), and custom web applications. Use the "Select

Web Application Server" screen to choose to:

·            Install and/or deploy to a Java web application server, such as the Tomcat web application server included with BusinessObjects Enterprise.

·            Install and deploy to the IIS web application server installed as part of your Windows operating system.

Note.gifIf you are using the 64-bit version of IIS 7, you must ensure that:
ASP.NET is enabled.
The advanced IIS setting Enable 32-bit Applications is set to "True".
The advanced IIS setting .NET Application Pool is set to "Classic" mode.
If the IIS Web Application Server option is not selectable, ensure that ASP.NET v1.1 and IIS are both installed.

To configure a Java web application server for BusinessObjects Enterprise you will need the web application server administrator account name and password, as well as the listener port number.

1.    To use a Java web application server, select Java Web Application Server and choose one of the following options:

·            Install Tomcat application server and deploy to it. This will automatically install and configure Tomcat.

·            Automatically deploy to a pre-installed Web Application Server
This will prompt you to enter the configuration and authentication information on the next screen.

2.    To use the IIS web application server included as part of your Windows operating system, choose IIS Web Application Server, then select the website to use for deployment from the drop-down list.

3.    Click Next.
Depending on your selection, you can now proceed to either configure your web application server, or start the installation process.

To enter a Web Application Container Service (WACS) HTTP port number

A Web Application Container Service (WACS) will automatically be installed if the setup program determines that no Java web application server will be used.
You must enter a port number for the HTTP listener.

·            Enter the port number into the HTTP Port field. The default port number is 6405.
The WACS will listen for HTTP requests on the port you enter.

To configure a new Tomcat web application server

The "Configure Tomcat" screen displays during installation if you choose to install Tomcat as the web application server for your BusinessObjects Enterprise installation. Use this screen to configure Tomcat.

1.    Accept the default values or specify new port numbers for Connection port, Shutdown port, and Redirect port.

2.    Click Next to continue with the installation.

Note.gif If the port numbers you specified are in use, a warning message is displayed. To continue you will have to specify unused and valid port numbers.

The "Start Installation" screen is displayed.

To configure your existing web application server

The "Configure Web Application Server" screen displays during installation after you specify an existing server in the "Select Web Application Server" screen. To properly install web components on your web application server, you must provide specific configuration information about your existing web application server.

Note.gifThe setup program may not provide the option to perform an automatic deployment of web applications to a supported web application server. Under these circumstances, web applications must be deployed manually, or with the wdeploy command-line tool. For information on how to deploy web applications manually or with the wdeploy tool, see the SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise Web Application Deployment Guide.

1.    Select your existing web application server from the drop-down list of web application server types.

2.    Click Next to continue with the installation.
The following table summarizes the information required for supported web application servers.
